WandaVision introduced us to Billy and Tommy Maximoff, two characters better known to comic book fans as Young Avengers members Wiccan and Speed. Elsewhere, the likes of Ms. Marvel, Stature, Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), Kid Loki, Eli Bradley, and America Chavez have been introduced - or soon will be - and that has to be a sign they'll soon assemble as a team, right?
During a recent Q&A, Emmy nominee Elizabeth Olsen was asked whether the inclusion of the Twins in WandaVision could be an indication that Marvel Studios is building to a Young Avengers project.
"I have no idea. I don't even know if...actually, if you even ask [Marvel Studios President] Kevin Feige that, I think he'll honestly say he doesn't know," she explained. "They really plan phases at a time, and then after those complete, they move onto the next phase."
As for whether she thinks the Young Avengers will eventually come together in the MCU, Olsen added: "It seems like from my perspective that that could be a possibility, but I don't think they have a real plan for that yet. But they keep all their options open."
It would certainly be a bold move on Marvel's part to put the spotlight on the Young Avengers, especially as many fans are used to seeing big names like Captain America and Thor in the team. However, the whole point of introducing these heroes is to likely set the stage for a new era of storytelling with younger actors stepping up to take the place of those who have been around since Phase 1.
Would you like to see a Young Avengers movie or TV show in the not too distant future?
